Replace 12V 50W MR16 halogen bulbs with 240V 5W GU10 LED

Lampholer means just the bit where the lamp plugs in.

Your challenge will be to get two conductors in to a space that is only really big enough, and designed, for only a single conductor.
Strictly speaking the whole cable and its conductors should be fully enclosed within the black enclosure where the terminal strip is. Also, there's no termination for your earth conductors.
This is not unusual, but you'll have problems getting them all in and making it a reliable connection.

you'll need one for each downlight.

EDIT: Poo, too slow…

Wiring just the two lampholder wires into a click connecter would be no good if the fitting needed to be earthed

Though looking at the label, there claiming the whole fitting is Double insulated by the look of it, and if thats the case then the earth can be parked in the click connecter as suggested

There isn't. It's just a two pole piece of strip connector.

I'd like to use a click connector... but they are just to bulky to fit in the space.
It's the same reason why I had to use this kind of fittings rather than fire rated ones.

At the end of the day all the wires fit in the terminals... Only thing I would do is to put some sort of crimp-on cap on the earth wire.

They do not fit neatly, that is rough, the outer white sheath should also be within the enclosure.
The point of the j/b or click connecter is to reduce down to a single flex which will fit neatly in the black housing, the j/b goes in the ceiling void prior to fitting the light fitting, there is room where the transformer used to be.

What is the point of my giving you advice if it is ignored??

And they are not

Sorry... I didn't mean to ignore your advice guys...

Trust me... I've already seen those connectors, usually on fire rated Aurora fittings. They are too bulky and I would have to fight to make them fit in the ceiling... Is there anything smaller that I can use instead?

After you have done this change over to LED bulbs, could you please let us know how did you find the LED lighting compared to the old halogen lighting, apparently someone had his changed and he noticed shadows being more prominent and not diffused, which he said was the annoying bit about LED lighting. I bought a table lamp LED bulb to try out and noticed that the shadows were real problem, it is like the shadow of anything in the path of the light would get projected across the walls and ceiling, and focused with sharp outline, can be annoying, unless the LED light had a diffused cover or a lense, which then reduces the light intensity.

I just do not understand where you are coming from. Those Click connectors are about a third of the size of the transformers that you are replacing. If there is room for the transformers then you will have plenty of space for a Clickflow.

I've found the opposite!

It won't be a problem with decent LED lamps such as megaman.
